My silkie girl has finally started to lay eggs. Yippii I'm thinking. She layed 2 eggs than went broody. What the

Crazy bird.

Lil Miss Lou Lou hatched these two out and she is still sitting on about 7 eggs that my Sultan hen Sophia snuck in and layed. I'm waiting on her to come off the nest now and feel like I will be crancking my bator back up.

Congrats on your first two silkie eggs

You have 2 eggs, I'm still waiting for one.

Can we trade ?

Nothing like a broody silkie... mine made it 2 months before I have to drag her out of the nest box screaming. Then she's back in there 2 seconds later.

I'm torn between cold water bath and just sticking a duck egg under her and letting her have her way.

Congrats of the eggs though... I bet they were the best tasting eggs ever!

My broodys name is LouLou. Hopefully she is sitting on more than one egg and yes they were good eggs.

Go LouLou go.
